First Cybertruck on Aftermarket Wheels (T Sportline) + Falken Wildpeak AT Tires! Modified Foundation Series Cybertruck

[cvalue13]

this isn’t exactly right

there are at present two wheels, base and premium

The premium are on the Foundation Cyberbeast not because they’re part of the FS package, but because they’re already standard on a Cyberbeast

but the normal retail AWD come standard on base wheel, with option to upgrade to premium wheel … which option is included in the Foundation AWD

This is part of why both Foundation trims are the same $20K upcharge but the Cyberbeast Foundation comes with more stuff (the wheels were already on the truck)

base and standard (on the two tire options with their tire-matching aero covers)

Yeah I’m not familiar with them (and admit those steelies look pretty good!)

And also I didn’t watch the whole video

Do they elsewhere in this video or on their site mention that the wheels wont accept the aero covers, will have a negative range effect, or that the tires don’t match the OEM speed rating and otherwise may have further negative range effects?

I see now this a Cyberbeast, so these tires appear to be well below the OEM speed rating.




if they don’t mention it, then ‘taking it into account’ seems to mean “they know, but would rather customers didn’t”?

The tires are not mandatory. You can use the originals.

These are the aero caps for those rims

thanks for that

now the next question is nit-picking I admit, but:

how on earth can these guys have an idea of the aero effects of these aero caps, absent a truck and modeling?

I mean, sure, obviously they can rough out based purely on some theoretical “typicals” of aero

but wheel/wheel wells are a turbulent location where “typical” doesn’t necessarily have a clear conversion to “good”

I suppose I’m being grumpy, but it feels a little to me like these guys are basically paying lip service to aero as opposed to doing real work here?

but you seem familiar with them and may for the third time on this thread correct me (happily) with more info

I'm not going to try to guess how they have modeled or tested the aero efficiency. It could be a different design would have a better impact on aero but I think the smoother surface should at least to some level reduce the chopping of the air which would (probably) always have a positive aero impact. How much? I'm not sure. I've never bought after market rims for my cars lol but I am considering getting these for my Y since it appears everyone who was more money than me will be getting their truck before me lol

"review" from the company.

I believe the correct word is "Overview" though.

What if you took the hubcaps below, and had them waterjet cut to match the plastic factory covers?

@cvalue13 , you can model that, can’t you?

 

[Sincere]

Not impressed to say the least. Being first isn’t always a good thing.
